Donald Trump and the field of potential GOP presidential candidates weren't the only ones Saturday Night Live's Seth Meyers had a bit of fun with at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this year. He also gave President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Rep. Paul Ryan and our leaders in Congress who are proud of "adult conversations" and yammering on about bills being too long to read some grief as well.

He also got a shot in at the "tea party" and Ginni Thomas. After complimenting Michelle Obama for how good she looked right now compared to the day President Obama was inaugurated, Meyers said this:

MEYERS: Now you on the other hand Mr. President, have aged a little. What happened to you? When you were sworn in you looked like the guy from the Old Spice commercial. Now you look like Louis Gossett Senior. I've never said this to anyone before, but maybe you should start smoking again.

Is this the change you were talking about? Mr. President look at your hair. If your hair gets any whiter the tea party is going to endorse it. Oh, I'm going to get an angry voice mail from Ginni Thomas in 19 years.

President Obama took the ribbing pretty well tonight which is more than I can say for Donald Trump who looked like he was sucking on a lemon by the time this thing was over. Granted Meyers went a whole lot easier on the President, but I'm curious how Trump's going to react after tonight because everyone knows his ego isn't going to let the roasting he just took go without him saying something about it.

No one can honestly say that Trump should not have seen this coming after all of the birther, racist crap the corporate media has allowed him to go out there and spew for the last couple of weeks or that he didn't deserve to get skewered for it at this event.

I await Trump melting down on national television in 10... 9... 8...
